CHAPTER 1243 TRIBULATION SCARING THE CHASM BEASTS

　　Lin Mu had not expected the reaction to be this fast. He had seen cores being formed many times before and they were never this fast to condense. Even if there was a lot of spirit Qi, it was still a gradual process and took some time.

　　But for the Haima Tribe member, it was almost in an instant. This opened up a lot of new possibilities for Lin Mu, allowing him to guess further possibilities.

　　~Rumble~

　　Though his surprised didn't just stop there. As the rumble of thunder could soon be heard. It had passed all the way through the Earth Fixing Array and reached the tribe underground. 

　　"It really is like I thought… those that have not reached the equivalent of Nascent soul realm can still form their Nascent souls and it would also trigger a Heavenly Tribulation." Lin Mu muttered to himself as he continued to observe.

　　Far above the Broken Chasm, clouds had started to gather. These were different from the Rusty brown and red clouds that normally covered the sky. These clouds were dark and I could see arcs of light running through them.

　　~GUZAAAA~

　　The Chasm beasts that roamed around the area were alarmed by the presence of the tribulation clouds. They all looked up at the sky and roared at it, as if warning it that this was their land.

　　Their lack of intelligence was demonstrated here as a few of the stronger Chasm beasts decided to directly challenge the new 'enemy' that had appeared in the sky. Not to mention, they could sense great energy in the sky, which was a sign of food for them.

　　The Chasm Beasts that were at equivalent to the Immortal Ascension realm were the first ones to act. 

　　~GUZAAAA~

　　They leaped into the sky, forming a black blur in the air. 

　　~RUMBLE~

　　But just as they were half way to the clouds, a bolt of lightning fell down.

　　~BOOM~

　　The body of the Chasm Beast was directly blasted into dust by the lightning bolt. The dark clouds in the sky kept on rumbling and the roar of thunder could be heard far and wide. The sound soon increased in intensity and an oppressive feeling descended.

　　~GULALALLAL~

　　A change in the Chasm Beasts could be seen at this point. They had a hint of reluctance in their voice and they quickly turned back.  Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

　　"The Chasm Beasts are afraid of Tribulation lightning?" Lin Mu had been watching the entire series of events through one of his mirrors.

　　Elder Niji and the rest witnessed it too and were pleased. They watched as the entirety of the Chasm Beasts in the area started to return to the Broken Chasm. They jumped into the chasm as if afraid that they would be blasted to death by the tribulation lightning as well.

　　'The punishment tribulation lightning is indeed stronger here… or perhaps it adjusts its power according to the being it is facing.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

　　Though he also had a hunch that the reason why the Chasm beasts were repelled might be something to do with the fact that they were of the Yin attribute. And the tribulation lightning was that of the extreme Yang.

　　It wouldn't be unusual for both of them to cancel each other out even if the Chasm Beasts were strong.

　　"Seems like we might have another potential weapon against the Chasm Beasts. We now have a grasp on their weakness." Lin Mu said as ideas already started to form in his mind.

　　While he himself didn't have any Qi skill that could make lightning, what he did have were the methods to make formations that could release lightning. There were even a couple of spirit weapons Lin Mu had that produced lightning.

　　Though these weapons weren't as strong and were merely mid grade spirit weapons. But this didn't mean that they wouldn't come in handy. Lin Mu already had ideas about enhancing them further, or making entirely new weapons of the lightning attribute from the get go.

　　He certainly had a few materials that were of the Lightning element. 

　　'And if that doesn't work, I might just use the tribulation lightning itself for this.' Lin Mu had some dangerous ideas about a new form of a weapon.

　　~RUMBLE~

　　But all of these thoughts were out on pause for the moment since the tribulation clouds were gaining power.

　　"Everybody get back! Create some distance from him." Lin Mu ordered.

　　The Haima Tribe warriors responded quickly, and there was now a distance of at least 500 meters from the warrior that was undergoing the breakthrough.

　　Surprisingly though, the man wasn't scared. He only seemed to be confused.

　　"What is happening?" Nulo asked.

　　"You will be struck by lightning soon. But don't worry, your body is tough enough to bear it. And once you survive, you will be a lot stronger than before." Lin Mu encouraged.

　　"A-alright noble Lin Mu." Nulo replied.

　　"Do well, child. You shall create a new history for our tribe." Elder Niji encouraged as well.

　　Elder Niji knew more than the warriors and had plenty of information about heavenly tribulations. Lin Mu had told him about this before, after all. He also knew how dangerous it could be, but compared to the Chasm beasts that they had faced for years, this danger was nothing.

　　If they had an opportunity to exceed their old limits, they were willing to go to any length.

　　~shua~

　　Lin Mu controlled the Earth Fixing array and opened up a small hole at the top of the mountain. He knew that the tribulation lightning would tear through the array otherwise and damage it. 

　　With a hole there, it would pass through it, thereby taking the path of least resistance.

　　'Though the roof might need to be patched again later… perhaps is should make it retractable?' Lin Mu thought.

　　~RUMBLE~

　　A thunderous sound tore though the skies and a flash of lightning blinded all those that looked up at that time.

　　~BOOM~

　　The lightning bolt finally fell!
